Rockstar Sets Grand Theft Auto VI Release for November 19, 2026 at $79.99

Overview

• Rockstar and Take-Two confirmed on Wednesday that Grand Theft Auto VI will launch November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S with pre-orders opening June 25 at midnight local time.
• The publisher set U.S. prices at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for an Ultimate Edition that includes exclusive vehicles, weapons and cosmetics tied to protagonists Jason and Lucia.
• Physical boxes will ship from November 12 but will contain only a redemption code for a digital download, and digital pre-orders will allow pre-loading beginning November 12.
• No PC release date or Brazilian pricing has been announced, leaving regional costs and the timing of a PC launch as open questions for consumers.
• Analysts say high demand for the first mainline GTA since 2013 makes the $80 price unlikely to deter buyers while the move toward higher launch prices and digital distribution may influence industry pricing and retail practices.
